Thread for discussion of the Innawood project to form a corporate town in a rural part of the state of Maine: http://innawood.org/Properties/
IRC: irc.freenode.net #innawood
Innawood would focus on building a self-sufficient community without giving up modern technology and would collaborate for trade with the outside world while abiding by national and state laws. With a population of approximately 5,000 - 10,000 a legal township could be established with a town hall, courthouse and local emergency services. Land in the area is cheap, building codes are non-existent outside of close proximity to waterways and the land contains all 3 geological mineral types while being set several hours from the nearest population center.
Currently there are about 60 people signed up with a goal of at least 1,000 before beginning to pool pledged funds to buy land and equipment.
